☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Hundred Plastic Men," a wartime prank gone awry takes center stage as Dewey’s attempt to escape army chores backfires spectacularly after he sends a suspicious "health-food cake" to his colonel. Written, drawn, and inked by Bernard Dibble, this 1943 Quality Comics tale delivers a quirky, offbeat wartime comedy with a touch of absurdity. The cover by Jack Cole captures the story’s playful spirit with a bold, dynamic image.
In this 1943 installment from Police Comics #24, Jo’s attempt to escape garbage duty backfires when she sends a mysterious health-food cake to her brother Dewey at army camp—only for him to unwittingly serve it to his colonel, with predictably chaotic results.
Roy Lincoln, the Human Bomb, sees his pal Hustace Throckmorton heartbroken over losing Honeybun to Poison Purdy, a smooth-talking heavyweight boxer—and decides the only way to win her back is to get Hustace into the ring for a public bout. What Roy doesn't count on is a criminal trio eavesdropping on the plan and trying to fix the fight for their own profit, forcing him to turn to science and a daring ringside scheme to make sure justice—and love—prevail.
